Default Tiling behind bath? or tile down to bath?

Hi

Whats the recommendation/convention? Install bath then tile down to
it, grout and seal? Or tile the wall to below the level of the bath,
install the bath and seal? I think the former, but someone I know is
swearing the latter is better.


Fix the bath to the wall, and tile *virtually* down to it - leaving a slight
gap (3mm?) for a bead of sealant. [Do not use grout between the bath and
tiles].

The purists would also tell you to keep the bath full of water while the
sealant cures.
